GHQ Leaders disppearance

[Nerumir]

I just did a test to be sure and that's confirmed, I noticed that after loading a saved game, each GHQ has commanding leaders vanished (1.05d).

Ok, I will work on this for the official patch schedule for Wednesday.

Well shot. I fixed this bug quite rapidly. You will find it corrected inside the official patch. Unfortunately, old savegame cannot be corrected (unless manually), because the GHQ leader infos were not stored.

Calvinus, what must i edit in the savegame? I started a game yesterday which i would like to continue.

[calvinus]

Can you wait for the official patch, please?

Once published, I will tell you what to do.

[Frank]

No problem Calvinus. Keep up the good work.

As promised, here I am!

1) Download and install the latest official patch 1.0.5F

2) Open your savegame (.SAV file) using a text editor (I commonly use UltraEdit, it's very powerful!)

3) Locate all Commander-in-Chief descriptors, one by one, searching the text "BeginCommanderInChief".

example:

BeginCommanderInChief
Id=1500
Tag=GER_L01
Name=Von Moltke
Type=LT_CommanderInChief
Rank=LR_RankA
Nationality=2010
IsRandom=No
IsDisclosed=No
EntryYear=1914
ExitYear=1920
Sprite=89
IdGHQ=100111
Coordination=0
AttackBonus=0
DefenseBonus=0
Pursuit=2
Limogeage=0
Obstination=0
Reserve=5
Initiative=2
Combination=5
Reaction=6
EndCommanderInChief

3) The bold-highlighted "IdGHQ" row gives the ID of the GHQ to correct. So search the GHQ.

In the example, searching "Id=100111", I find:

BeginMainHeadQuarter
Id=100111
Tag=GER_O.H.L.
Type=DT_GreatHeadQuarter
Name=O.H.L.
IdArmy=0
IdCommanderInChief=1500
Coordination=0
Reserve=4
Command=0
Intervent=0
Movement=0
Initiative=2
Combination=3
Reaction=5
Position={24|2772|7484}
PositionLast={53|0|0}
CanBeMoved=No
MayDoAdvancedPursuit=No
Status=LDS_Static
Supply=0
SupplyChecks=0
IsolationChecks=0
SiegeTurns=0
Nationality=2010
UnitsReserves=1000566,1000567,1000581,1000520,1000521,1000501,1000478
EndMainHeadQuarter

4) Add the "IdCommanderInChief=???" row using the ID of the corresponding Commander-in-Chief (in the example above you can see the correspondance in the bold-highlighted row).

This is to be done for each commander-in-chief, one by one.

Thanks Calvinus.
